We're heading out to the countryside for our political guest this week, as the world is going through its worst-ever outbreak of bird flu.
In the UK it's been reported that around 600,000 of Britain's 1.2 million free-range turkeys produced annually have died in recent weeks from the current avian influenza outbreak.
Northern Agenda editor Rob Parsons speaks to Dr Neil Hudson, a Tory MP from rural Cumbria and the only vet in the House of Commons, about the toll the epidemic has taken on the poultry industry and what we can do to help.
***
And we hear about a campaign dedicated to accelerating gender equality and social mobility from the North of England, backed by more than 70,000 people.
Northern Power Women's CEO and founder Simone Roche joins Rob on the podcast to discuss the campaign.
***
The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Rob Parsons, and produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.
